⛵️Hugo Rycott –Captain

I’ve had a lifelong passion for the sea, and I feel incredibly lucky to now call it both my career and my home. Over the years I’ve logged more than 10,000 nautical miles sailing throughout the Caribbean and Europe, including an Atlantic crossing and multiple yacht deliveries. These experiences have shaped me into a confident, safety-focused skipper, but just as importantly, someone who loves sharing this lifestyle with others.

Before becoming a full-time charter captain, I worked as a dive instructor in the British Virgin Islands. Guiding guests underwater gave me a deep appreciation for the marine world and allows me to offer more than just a sailing holiday. I love helping guests discover vibrant reefs, spotting turtles and rays while at anchor, and sharing the stories and natural history that make each destination special.

My goal on every charter is to create an experience that’s completely tailored to you. Whether you want to be hands-on at the helm and learn to sail, explore quiet hidden bays away from the crowds, enjoy the best beach bars in the Caribbean, or simply relax on deck with a drink and take in the view, I’ll make sure your time on board is exactly what you hoped for — and more.


I pride myself on creating an atmosphere that feels relaxed, welcoming, and personal, while always maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism. For me, the best part of this job is seeing guests truly switch off, connect with the ocean, and leave with memories that stay with them long after the charter ends.

👩‍🍳 Marie-Valentine – Chef

I have a true passion for creating meaningful and memorable experiences through food and connection. For me, being a chef on board is not only about cooking — it’s about welcoming guests, making them feel at ease, and ensuring they enjoy every moment of their journey.

I genuinely love hosting and bringing people together. Whether it’s around a beautifully set table, a relaxed breakfast, or a sunset dinner, I enjoy creating a warm and friendly atmosphere where conversations flow naturally and guests feel completely at home.

On board, I’ll take you on a culinary journey around the world. Inspired by my European roots, I love preparing dishes from Spanish, Italian, French, and Belgian cuisine, while also embracing more exotic flavors to fully immerse you in the Caribbean experience. Each menu is thoughtfully crafted to balance discovery, comfort, and pleasure.

I am also attentive to every guest’s needs and happily adapt to dietary requirements, allergies, or specific preferences to ensure everyone can fully enjoy the experience.

Originally from Belgium, I spent 14 years living in the south of France by the Mediterranean Sea. This deep connection to coastal living naturally led me now to the Caribbean, where I feel incredibly grateful to live and work in such a beautiful environment.

My goal is simple: to make you feel welcomed, cared for, and to create delicious moments that become part of your best memories on board.

What a week!
What a week!! We arrived Saturday March 28 to fabulous weather and comfortable temperatures. The sky was blue the water was turquoise and the food was amazing. Hugo and Greta have really made this trip memorable. Captain Hugo regaled us with tales of high adventure on the sea, and saved us when pirates attacked and almost ruined the day. Greta fed us so well we gave up trying to eat out as her food was always superior. We snorkeled, dove, played games, talked, laughed a lot, and enjoyed our family. We will remember this week when we are old and grey. If either of you ever plan a trip to Kansas city, give us a call and you have a place to stay! Jes, Darren, Eve + Piper

May 2024
Absolutely once in a lifetime experience. Never would have imagined having a 52ft boat to ourselves. We cooked in the galley almost every meal with all the necessities on hand. Captain Jason is so very kind, accommodating and knowledgeable. We jumped off the back of the boat each day to swim with sea turtles. Comfortable beds, decent shower size, generator runs at night providing AC for humid nights. Thank you Captain Jason for your humor and genuine care/respect for the boat Shaley
May 2024
Absolutely one of the coolest, unique, and best vacations we ever had!! Captain Jason was awesome and very accommodating. He helped with all logistics to ensure we had as smooth a trip as possible, inbound, outbound, and during. Very professional but down to earth as well. World class snorkelling right off the boat. Speaking of the yacht - It’s in incredible shape and excellently maintained by Jason. Extremely clean, tidy, comfortable. He takes his job and the boat seriously (in a good way) and it shows! I had so much fun. Jason also led on a couple incredible snorkeling dives. Billy
April 2024
Best part of our trip, we cannot wait to come back. Capt. Jason was awesome! Wonderful memories!! Joseph
April 2024
This stay was without a doubt the best part of our trip. Cannot wait to return. Captain Jason was an exceptional host, and went above and beyond to make our stay EXTRAORDINARY! I highly recommend booking this Yacht on your next trip to the VI / BVI. Stephanie
April 2024
By far the absolute best experience you could possibly imagine. It felt like a dream and we felt like royalty. Extremely easy, stunning views, Captain Jason was beyond phenomenal he was extremely nice, fun to be around, helpful with literally everything I have never been so excited to write a review! I have been telling everyone I know they need to go and experience what my wife and I did. Captain Jason made the whole experience what it was! Highly recommend! Kenny

January 2024
There are not enough words to describe how amazing our stay was! The crew were extremely responsive, helpful, and friendly. The location was amazing, with the most amazing views and so close to everything. They made us feel as though we had known them forever and genuinely made our trip! I cannot recommend it enough. Briana
November 2023
We are well and had a fantastic charter. The boat was more than we expected, cabins were nicely outfitted and ver comfortable. The crew, Capt Brian and Shannon were perfect. Both with lots of suggestions re locations to snorkel, restaurants or bars on the islands and different hikes to explore. And the meals on board were excellent. They both did an excellent job, and each night’s mooring was breathtaking. John
July 2023
Jana and Matt, we were planning this trip a long time ago, we are so blessed and lucky to have been with such a great crew like you are. The best chef Jana and a great captain. You both are the best of the best, you are patient, welcoming, always taking care of all the small details that made this adventure even better.
July 2023
Aren't we lucky! Jana you food was amazing. It is the cherry on top. My kids enjoyed every part of it. Looking forward to the next, your friends Esthor, Sergio, Alexa and Maximo.
July 2023
Thank you for a superb trip. The cooking, caring, guidance and patience with my boys was outstanding. I appreciate your adaptability. We loved our boat and island time. You made us feel welcome and comfortable. This was an amazing adventure and we hope to do it again!
July 2023
Dear Chef Jana and dear Capt. Matt, Thank you for welcoming us aboard. Aren't we lucky with your cheerful kindness and gracious hospitality! Thank you for making every single minute of our stay an incredible experience! We won't forget these delightful, fabulous, amazing days and we especially won't forget Chef Jana's delicious cooking and marvelous presentation and Capt. Matt's impressively skillful handling of the boat. Everything was above and beyond and we can't wait to come back! With heartfelt gratitude to our new friends!
June 2023
Matt and Jana, although it is tempting to give top billing to the enchanting chef/first mate Jana, it is the seamless manning that Capt. Matt performs the operation of the vessel that makes this extraordinary experience just that - extraordinary. The series of excursions and diversions makes 7 days seem twice as long. The dining from breakfast to dinner, desserts is a deeply memorable series of delights. It would be difficult to imaging two more delightful souls to guide and pamper their guests through an utterly unforgettable experience. Thank you so much!
May 2023
Capt Matt - Your superb handing of the boat was very comforting and extremely capable. Not once did anything seem rushed or worrisome. Your knowledge of all of our excursions and the details for us in a foreign place. Your conversation was easy and again very knowledgable. Thank you for making this bucket list item such a pleasure! Chef Jana - oh man, but your creative meals was top shelf. You charmed us with colorful and delightful, healthy and flavorful food! Beginning with imaginative starters to dangerously delicious desserts. You were kind and thorough in your service and I appreciate our side conversations! You two make an effective and amazingly fun team. With gratitude, Lisa B.
May 2023
Captain Matt and Chef/Best Mate Jana, we have absolutely enjoyed our time onboard! You knowledge of the islands and oceans are extraordinary! Thank you for showing us many memorable places, above water and below! Everything was perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more. The meals have been wonderful! You presentations were not only appealing to the eyes, everything was delicious! We are so very happy with our trip!
April 2023
Chef jana and Capt. Matt, Thank you for this once in a lifetime adventure. The trip has been everything we hoped for and more. St. Thomas and St. John's are truly paradise! I wish time would have stand still so we won't have to say good-bye. Until next time - our sincerest thanks! P.S. the food was beyond amazing! Jana you're an excellent chef!

By far the absolute best experience you could possibly imagine. It felt like a dream and we felt like royalty. Extremely easy, stunning views, Captain Jason was beyond phenomenal he was extremely nice, fun to be around, helpful with literally everything I have never been so excited to write a review!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing our stay was! The crew were extremely responsive, helpful, and friendly. The location was amazing, with the most amazing views and so close to everything. They made us feel as though we had known them forever and genuinely made our trip! I cannot recommend it enough.

We are well and had a fantastic charter. The boat was more than we expected, cabins were nicely outfitted and ver comfortable. The crew, Capt Brian and Shannon were perfect. Both with lots of suggestions re locations to snorkel, restaurants or bars on the islands and different hikes to explore. And the meals on board were excellent. They both did an excellent job, and each night’s mooring was breathtaking. John

Dear Chef Jana and dear Capt. Matt, Thank you for welcoming us aboard. Aren't we lucky with your cheerful kindness and gracious hospitality! Thank you for making every single minute of our stay an incredible experience! We won't forget these delightful, fabulous, amazing days and we especially won't forget Chef Jana's delicious cooking and marvelous presentation and Capt. Matt's impressively skillful handling of the boat. Everything was above and beyond and we can't wait to come back! With heartfelt gratitude to our new friends!

Matt and Jana, although it is tempting to give top billing to the enchanting chef/first mate Jana, it is the seamless manning that Capt. Matt performs the operation of the vessel that makes this extraordinary experience just that - extraordinary. The series of excursions and diversions makes 7 days seem twice as long. The dining from breakfast to dinner, desserts is a deeply memorable series of delights. It would be difficult to imaging two more delightful souls to guide and pamper their guests through an utterly unforgettable experience. Thank you so much!

Capt Matt - Your superb handing of the boat was very comforting and extremely capable. Not once did anything seem rushed or worrisome. Your knowledge of all of our excursions and the details for us in a foreign place. Your conversation was easy and again very knowledgable. Thank you for making this bucket list item such a pleasure! Chef Jana - oh man, but your creative meals was top shelf. You charmed us with colorful and delightful, healthy and flavorful food! Beginning with imaginative starters to dangerously delicious desserts. You were kind and thorough in your service and I appreciate our side conversations! You two make an effective and amazingly fun team. With gratitude, Lisa B.

Chef jana and Capt. Matt, Thank you for this once in a lifetime adventure. The trip has been everything we hoped for and more. St. Thomas and St. John's are truly paradise!
